At a follow-on news conference, Ashton Carter, the deputy secretary of defense, waved away such concerns, saying the military would retain the ?know-how? and ?critical skills? to ?regenerate? this capability if it is needed once again. But this is easier said than done. If the president and defense secretary say that ?stability operations? are no longer a core mission of the Army and Marine Corps, then the senior officers?many of whom were never thrilled about doing those things to begin with?are likely to whack away at the resources (training bases, educational curricula, and so forth) that created and sustained this ?know-how.? (One exception will be Special Operations Forces, which have always performed these sorts of missions and which Obama says he wants to increase.)
